If you mean "dialect" in the sense of a variety of English (e.g. regional variety) not considered to be the main or standard variety, no.

Normally all three sentences should have question marks. It may be possible to use full stops instead if the element of true questioning is felt to be low, i.e. they are more like statements with an assumed agreement.

With tag questions, we always use contractions, or else we have to change the word order. For example, we can say "... hasn't it?" or (more formal) "... has it not?", but not "has not it?". Only the second example is a true tag question though. In the first example, we cannot say "would not you?" or "would you not?". In the third example, we can say "do you not think?" but not "do not you think?".
